I just got my Car last Wednesday and want to drive out there to check out all the rides. It's a leased car so I'm not going to do a thing to it!  Any particular time to be there? How do I get there? I remember some of the area from cruisng through there when I had my Saleen mustang and meeting others down in the area. What was the name of that resturant on PCH that had all the cars there? They used to have F-1 viewing there on Sunday early in the morning! |
SVC's new place is back in the automotive area of Costa Mesa, about 2 blocks from the Road and Track building...several lifts inside, about half dozen cars at various stages of work.
Re Crystal Cove: every Saturday in the parking lot by Trader Joes/Starbucks, overlooking the Pacific; cars that want to be on display line up about 6:30 am, go in shortly after, the action is from about 7 am to 8:15 or 8:30 am or so, when everybody heads off for Saturday activities. Many (most?) of the cars are very upmarket, but there is a nice variety of unique older ones...those who just pay a lot for a stock high end MB or BMW don't get any attention, there needs to be something special to turn heads. The restaurant I think you're referring to is Dolci, near the old SVC site. There are photos of an amazing stable of cars out front there on the SVC website.
